De La Hoya to Eddie Hearn: Reach deal by mid June: Hearn wants more $$$

More credible? Not really, they are closer to the same level. The reason Spike shouldn't be considered is:

Canelo fights twice a year. With that schedule, there's not much room for gimmes or tune ups. and...
There are better options than Spike. It wasn't a great fight for 3G, it isn't for Canelo either.

 

try being serious for once FFS.... Your trolling is boring.

 

That comment was just to point out your double standards.

 

There was no double standard. I don't think you actually grasp what that means.

 

None of the respectable GGG fans were happy with Vanes, we basically all thought he should cancel the May date and fight someone better. In the same way when Spike was the frontrunner I was also critical as I've never rated Spike. Admittedly in Golovkin's case there is some partial mitigation for being a fight at short notice.

Anyway, if Canelo or GGG were to fight Spike in September that would be far worse, both need to fight top opposition in September to make up for a weak opponent in May (GGG) or failed drug test & no opponent (Canelo).

 

He desperately wants to believe that facing a fighter on short notice is the same as facing one in 4 months as planned.

 

I’m not getting in a back and forth with a fanboy who has stated Golovkin who fights guys like Vanes which has led to his stripping of a title and has even abandoned his bread and butter ace card “all the belts” is an ATG. He couldn’t even rule a division that was weak for the longest time but now openly ducks it’s best fighters who are his mandatories because he wants to retire undefeated and not take an L.

The actual double standard of the situation is you give passes to a guy whose resume doesn’t even come close to the guy you’re hating on and on top of this nonsense, this guy with the weaker resume who has done far less is already a shoe in ATG in your opinion. How does any of that make any sense if not a double standard. That only makes sense if you’re a fanboy. I don’t even like Canelo but it’s clear as day he’s better for boxing overall period. He has done more for the sport and he has taken more chances.

If anyone deserves to cherry pick out of him and Golovkin, he has the better case to do so. Golovkin wasn’t even good enough to secure Spike Sullivan and chose Vanes. So your comment about Canelo fighting Spike is a double standard comment when you think Vanes is valid for an ATG fighter in your opinion. Go ahead and play dumb now and throw your typical female jabs but you’re a fanboy with obscure logic.

 

WTF?!?! Nice crazed 'all over the place' rant.... Even trying to be civil with posters like you, you still turn in to this crap poster. You aren't even talking about specifics here, just generalities... So much for this little experiment. You are simply too much of a bitter ass hole to be taken serious here.

 

That's actually a shame. You really don't care about boxing, you care about your favorite boxers or promoters.

You see, people who love the sport hate this type of bullying. It wasn't right when Don King made guys sign contracts just to face his fighters. It wasn't right when Universum did similar w/ the K bros.

So why are you so accepting of GBP's bullying tactics?

There is no similarity between 3G's title shots and Canelos. 3G had to fight whomever he could to get his. Canelo got his handed to him facing a WW at jrmw.

 

The problem with most of this is, you guys apply some 'double standard' or 'hypocrisy' claim when it's not even the same situation.

 

So it's a yes, you are completely fine with GBP and their bullying tactics. So long as it suits your favorite fighter or promoter I see.

I don't agree with any of that. Nor would I compromise my own morals just because a fave of mine is doing it.

I didn't try to justify anything Shane Mosley did wrong back then. He was a favorite of mine. But he was also a cheat, and I could not allow myself to support him as I once did once that all came out. Same w/ Margarito (Relax CJ... ).
